Detail

I just spent too many hours chasing down a bug in 4.1.2 caused by takeOutProtected's use of Translation token getting corrupted by emitTR's use of it.

4.2 has added a tag id to ttakeOutBlocks and takeOutProtected, but not to the collspan code in emitTR - so its still possible to have the problem - but much less likely (ie if a plugin gets into the rendering loop, or if you manage to make a topic with the translationToken.

So I'm going to add a qualifier..
